I selected the nvidia driver as I did not know which package to select.
I am pretty sure that is not the problem as that driver is supposed to
support the hybrid graphics in this laptop.
What I was expecting on the clean install of Kubuntu was to use the
dedicated Nvidia video card for graphics and I do believe with these
hybrid graphics is it supposed to use the on CPU graphics for less
intensive graphics. Personally, I would be happy if the dedicated
Nvidia card was only used at this point.
What has happened is the system is showing AMD RENOIR (DRM 3.38.0,
5.8.0-18-generic, LLVM 10.0.1) in the info centre and the VMWare driver
is also showing in Steam. The games I have tried to launch in steam are
running at about 1FPS and I have tried games like Farming Similator 2013
which are very old and this computer should be able to run at well above
60FPPS.
I get the same problem on Kubuntu 20.04.01 as well as 20.10. Running
the Nvidia X Server Settings shows the proper video driver and video
card, but it does say None beside display devices.
I tried hours to try and fix this problem. I first thought it was a
driver issue, but tried deveral different version of the proprietary
Nvidia driver with no change. I made sure I am using the latest driver
only released a couple months ago still with no change. The open source
driver only shows a blank screen.
I then thought maybe the computer is only using the on CPU Ryzen
graphics; even though that should still get better than 1 FPS. So, I
tried solutions to force the dedicated video card. sudo prime-select
nvidia says the nvidia profile is already set. The nvidia settings does
not have any setting to force the video card as well. prime-select
query shows nvidia as well. Most solutions seem to be for intel
chipsets with the Nvidia 1050 and I have an AMD with Nvidia 1050.
